Three Simple Tips to Shed Fat

June 13th, 2008 by admin

Today it seems people are willing to go through almost anything to lose body fat. Fad diets, pills and magical exercise equipment are costly and most often simply ineffective. In order to lose those pounds you have to have a basic understanding of the food you are eating, and how to utilize various forms of exercise..

There are three things to consider when losing body fat.

Diet- watch your carbs in general and especially simple carbs. Avoid consuming lots of carbs in the evenings. Quite simply, to lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume.

Weight training - having more muscle mass is a huge aid to burning calories and getting lean. Each additional pound of muscle burns 30-50 calories per day at rest.

Cardio - to burn the most fat it helps to do it in a glycogen depleted state, such as immediately after waking (before consuming any carbs or fat) or right after lifting weights. HIIT - high intensity interval training has been shown to be exponentially more effective at fat burning than endurance type (level resistance) cardio.

All too often people are looking for the hidden secret when ti comes time to lose a few pounds, when in reality, it just takes a bit of work and some basic understanding of diet and exercise.

Kettlebells What are They How Do They Work

June 12th, 2008 by admin

WHAT IS A RUSSIAN KETTLEBELL?

A Russian Kettlebell looks like a cast iron cannonball with a handle. The weight is incredibly dense and centered in an off-balance way for many excercises. The off balance state of the weight increases the difficulty of many excercises while allowing for a maximum range of movement. This combinantion allows the athlete, student, or user to receive the maximum results from their physical fitness program.

“I am not a natural athlete. I am not a state champ in anything, I am not a world powerlifter, or a worlds strongest man competitor. I am not a pretty boy, I do not have Ken and Barbie genetics or advocate a Ken and Barbie physique. Many people have been tricked, fooled, and conditioned to use unreasonable desires as their motivation to get into better shape. I recommend a platform of health first, abilities second, and physique last.

My personal routine and goals are driven by this approach. I am a street cop with farm boy genetics. My fellow Officers and I rely on strength, staminia, endurance, aerobic and anaerobic ability to get the job done. Its not as glamorours as titles, championships, or a California beach physique, after all its only life or death. The point is that if its good enough for what I do its good enough for what anyone does. Welcome to the American Kettlebell Revoloution!

A kettlebell instructor Jason Wilterdink is here to answer any questions, classes will be starting up soon.

Alkalize to Reduce Your Size

June 12th, 2008 by admin

It is a fact that over 75% of people who lose weight put that weight back on within a year and of those who put it back on a further 50% will actually put on more weight than they started with in the first place!

How is that for a scary fact?

What I am about to tell you will help you to reduce your weight and help you to keep it at a level you are happy with. You will notice I have put the word help in bold text, this is because this is just the start to reducing your weight and it is without doubt the most important gift you could give to your body to help that weight reduction.

Do you know what a ph scale is?

A ph scale is a measurement guide to acidity and alkalinity. It is a sliding scale from 1 to 14 where 1 is completely acidic and 14 is completely alkaline. This means that 7 is completely neutral, neither acid nor alkali.

Why is this so important? Well our bodies are a fine balance between acid and alkali and the optimum level for our bodies to be at is 7.36 which is just slightly alkali. If you are over weight I guarantee that you body is acidic because that is basically what fat is, stored acid that your body has not been able to break down.

When you start to get your body back towards the optimum level of 7.36 your body will automatically react to get rid of some of the waste acid it is currently holding on to. But your body needs help to become more alkaline and to get rid of this waste.

Fortunately there is a product which is a solution to both of these areas and it is called ‘water’ that’s right - water.

I am sure that you have heard people say many times ‘you should drink at least 6-8 glasses of water per day’, do you take any notice?
I am guessing that you are now in one of the 3 following categories:

1. You have heard people say this and you now do drink this amount of water per day.

2. You have heard people say this but you just can’t be bothered because it means you will go to the toilet more often.

3. You have heard people say this and you just don’t believe them.

I am here to tell you that you absolutely must drink at least 2 litres (3 would be better but do not exceed 3) of alkalizing water (bottled mineral water preferably) per day. This water will re-alkalize your body therefore giving your body chance to get rid of the excess acid it has been storing and it will help get rid of this waste through your natural systems (again I am not going to graphic on this).

I guarantee that if you start to drink at least 2 litres of water per day you will start to feel the effects within a fortnight. But before you rush off to get a glass right now. No actually go get yourself a nice big glass full I will wait for you.

Are you back, excellent.

There is something else you can do to help your body’s alkali levels and that is to drink green drinks. You can either get these ready made or you can get powders to mix with your water to produce a green drink.

Green drinks are made from all natural ingredients that are high in alkali levels which is obviously superb for your body. Search the net for green drinks there are numerous ones out there.
